"Snotty and rambunctious, the band takes guitar jangle ... to hyperspeed ... belting out glorious hopeless romantic prose. ... a power pop detonation. The punk punches just keep on coming. ... The best ... songs you will listen to this year." -- Selective Memory

"The relationship tensions on ["Back and Forth Forever"] run ... deep as ... Jayk Gallagher and [former co-lead singer] Lauren Lakis trade off vocals and harmonize in some of rock’s fine traditions (think X, Sonic Youth and the Pixies ...) That ... [they] set their makeup/breakup to tasty indie/punk/’90s alternative licks make the audio voyeurism even better." - Buzzbands LA

"Hobart W Fink has risen through the ranks of the LA music scene at an incredibly fast rate. ... From newcomers to veterans without losing any of their hunger." -- Hunnypot Radio

"Back And Forth Forever" is straight-forward, unabashed rock with just a hint of irony. Hobart W Fink delivers their fun, no-frills brand of garage rock which treads the line between punk and grunge, apathy and enjoyment. (Noe Santiago on Bass, AJ Brown on Drums.) Buzzbands LA called Hobart W Fink's single and music video for SO MANY LOSERS, released in June, "Smashing!" and The Deli LA called it "hard hitting and fun"

"Final Fantasy 7 is a biplane over the Pacific bathed in an endless stream of sunshine. A haunting riff blends with undulating guitars over sun-streaked waves, as Jayk Gallagher and Marie Bollinger's crooning tones carry the listener into a tranquil space that nonethless rocks. The breakdown is unabashed grunge, featuring guitar licks reminiscent of Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins over rough, sparkling distortion, with voices intertwining in a crescendo of escapism. With lyrics that speak of letting go of control, and inhabiting the relief of the present moment, Final Fantasy 7 is a welcome respite from the doldroms of repetitive rock, a breath of ocean air that cuts right through the LA smog." - Groundsounds.com

"Got it! Are you feeling the Fink?" - Artist Direct

"naturally infectious indie grunge rock" - Groundsounds.com

"There is undoubtedly a capable songwriter involved in the band, as the stylized compositions have a tonality which keeps the audience in full focus and whilst easy for the ear to engage with, the tracks are far from easy to play as tempos switch up and down, along with keys, whilst retaining an animate flow." - Emerging Indie Bands

"Their new video is as fun as the song. Both video and track have a summer irreverence that is infectious. Both make me want to quit my job for the summer." - Syffal.com

"The video .. makes for one heck of a travelogue; it was filmed ... in Peru and in New Orleans, as if the song isn’t escapist enough." - Buzzbands.la

"The music is garage rock at its core; but with a keen sense of dynamics and melody Hobart W Fink have created a sound that slots in nicely with today’s alternative rock scene. ... sets the band apart from their contemporaries ... Hobart W Fink is a fine act to listen to, and they keep things simple and dirty like any fine band should do." - Indie Music

"A mixture of contrasts ... A deep, heavy sound ... The raggedness of grunge with the proficiency of blues." - Sound Of Confusion

"The purposeful lofi crunch of garbage dump drums introduces thick, hairy guitars sliced by a distorted vocal. 'Moment you just be yourself's the moment they will leave,' declaims Jayk Gallagher of Hobart W Fink. Co-lead singer Marie Bollinger and Gallagher's voices intertwine with clarity within the post-grunge milieu. The consistent, conscious contradictions offered by the lyrics and sound underscore both the potential discomfort of success and the refreshing nature of this debut single."
